A number of fire alarms have been sent

A Superior Being.
nn..n TxonnNlor

The Boston Brahmin is q superior be-
ing, and he is fearfully and wonderfully
made. Still he is exceeded by one other
type-the Cambridge Brahmin, who, IN
deed, hath all things under his feet. A
young Bostonian, who is himself a poet
and not unknown to tame, was at a Cam
bridge rece Aion and had the honor OF be-
j. G presented to q Cambridge Brahmin.
Something in the turn of conversation
suggested Boyle O'Reilly, and this quite
too precious Brahmin exclaimed
IN languid ar d artistocratic tone: "Ah,
O'Reilly, l think he has written some
little verses, quite clever, really quite
clever they were, don't you know" The
young poet replied modestly that he be-
lieved q good many people considered
them so, and, as il with g sudden remem-
brauce, added: "You have man out
here who has written some verses, havn't
you? Observation-Disclosures such
name," hesitatingly. You mean Prof.
Longfellow," replied the Cambridge
Brahmin, severely. "Oh, yes" responded
the young man with an air of guileless
innocence; 81 think that was the name; he
has written some quite clever little things,
really quite clever, don't you know. Is
he writing now?" "He is Dead" replied
the superior being in frozen tones.

Fire at Alliance. Ohio.

PrTTsBURG, Pa, Jan. l9.-Specials
from Alliance, Ohio, report big fire rag
ing there. The loss already reaches
more than 100000. The fire started in
Evans & Co.'s shoe store about O'Clock
this morning and spread quickly to the
adjoining buildings on both sides. 10
O'Clock six brick buildings had been de-
stroyed and the fire was still raging with
unabated fury. A brisk, southwesteriy
wind was tanning the flames, thus making
the fire more difficult to get under con-
troll.
Later dispatches state that the flames
were cxtlnguished without further dan
ger. Six three story business blocks
were Quilted and two others were badly
damaged by fire and water. The total
loss is about $4,000, probably two
thirds covered by insurance. The origin
of the fire is unknown.

Spies and His Sweetheart.

THE AUNT AND GRANDFATHER PROS
TRATED.
PITTsBURG. Pa, Jan. 19.-The develop
ment of the sensational circumstances in
the case of Miss Nina VanZandt, and her
determination to become the wife August
Spies, eliminated to-day in the prostrs-
ton of Mrs. John Arthurs, sNins's wealthy
aunt. The aged grandfather, William II.
Clark, and the aunt are both stricken by
the waYwardness of the young lady.
Nina's sharp refusal to submit to inter
ference, and her Characterization of Mrs.
Arthurs' remonstrance against the mar
riage as an "unwarranted outrage"
added to her assertion, practically, that
she did not care for the 100000 which
her aunt was able to bequeath her, pro-
duced the most SCATTERING effect upon
Mrs. Arthurs' already wounded sensi-
bilities, and when a reporter called at her
house, the servants stated that Mrs.
Arthurs was too i'll to see anyone, and
taat Mr.. Clark was no better. The scan
dial has created sensation in society
circles, and is the topic of the hour among
all classes.
NEW OBSTACLE.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 10 Sheriff Mat
son positively refuses to allow the mar
riage OF Spies, the condemned anarchist,
and Miss VaDZsndt to take place. He
says: 81 am surprised that the parents
ever permitted the girl to visit the Jail,
and much more, that they would consent
to let her wed in prison such q man, and
that they will not att mpt to save their
own own child from never ending shame
and disgrace. | shall see that she is at
least given chance before she leaps. |
ana firmly resolved that the marriage
shall be indefinitely postponed. l hope
Miss VanZsndt and her family will be
reconciled to wait, and believe my
views are right, but whether
they do or not, I am
confident that the people will approve my
course. 1t is not necessary to ask how |
snail prevent the marriage. Spies is my
prisoner and as such is entitled only to
such privileges or liberties as l may
think to proper to give him. The only
person whom | am obliged to allow to
visit him is his lawyer"
Miss VanZandt appeared quite indiffer-
ent when told of the sherif's decision,
but refused to be interviewed on the sub
ject. Miss VanZandt went to the Jail
about 10 O'Clock this morning and sought
an interview with Spies. The jail officials,
however, in obedience o3the sheriff's or
ders, refused to allow herfo enter.

WASHINGTON.
A Personal Encounter in a Barber.
Shop Between C0ngre ssmen King
and Jones OF Louisiana.
The National Board of Trade in
Session-SominatiOns.
TWO LOUISIANA CoSGREssMES.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Last night
something of sensation was created at
the barber shop Wlllird's hotel, where
Congressman ]. Floyd King of Louisiana,
and Cuthbert B. Jones of the same state
had personal encounter. 1t will be re-
membered that for two years Jones has
been making vigorous war upon King,
and was the cause of his defeat for re-
nomination. The trouble between the
two men is of long standing, and found
its origin in family feud of a number of
years ago. Last night before Jones
left the barber shop he turned to
one OF the employees and asked if
King owed any money there, and
advised the shopkeeper not to trust him.
King at the time was in the shop waiting
his turn. Jones went over to where King
was sitting and opened conversation
with the congressman by speaking dis
respectfully of his father and mother and
using an offensive epithet about the per-
son to whom he was speaking. To all
this abuse King made no reply. Jones
repeated the language and said that he
stood resdy 10 prove all that he said.
Still King kept motionless and silent.
Jones, becoming more enraged at the ex-
traordinsry manner of King, laid his
hand in menacing manner on the face of
King with the hope of provoking him to
resent the insults he was heaping
on him, but there was no
response. There is scarcely any compar
ison between the two men IN physical
powers. King is powerfully built man.
weighing perhaps 225 pounds, while Jones
is small. thin, wiry, nervous little fell
low, who will tip the scales at about AS
pounds. Jones afterwards said to a re-
porter that he had made every
attempt to provoke King to a desire
to fight to finish. 81 was
not armed" continued Mr.. Jones, "and
never carry weapons. King has injured
me and the good name Of my family, and
al ask is an opportunity of reapins sat-
isfaction. l have tried every possible
way to cause him to resent the abuse 1
have given him, but he is q coward"
The quarrel broke out last June
in Washington when it was report
ed that Jones was to be ap-
pointed UBited States consul at Callao.
News of this brought out an account of
feud between the Liddell and Jonas fami-
lies, involving, it was said, number of
assassinstions and murders. The feud
began before Cuthbert Jonas was born.
The Sunday Herald publishes an &C.
count of the trouble written by Col. Rob
erts, a somewhat eccentric character
formerly we'll known in Washington. The
following history of the feud is told by
King: "Jones and Liddell were
wealthy planters on Black river IN Louisi-
ana. There Was good deal of pickering
between the families, which eliminated
one day in Mrs. Llddell, a young and
beautiful woman, riding to Jones'
